What You Will Learn

Pour, ladle, dollop or drizzle, whether you’re a novice or expanding your repertoire, great sauce-making dresses up food to make it more colorful, complex and flavorful. In this class we’ll take our cues from Martha Holmberg’s inspiring cookbook, Modern Sauces. Filled with over 100 sauce recipes, it’s bound to become an indispensable and timeless reference in our library, and yours too. Our chef instructor will demonstrate 4 delicious sauces from the book that you’ll use time and again: hollandaise, vinaigrette, pan-sauce and crème anglaise. You’ll get helpful tips on how to take dishes to the next level by pairing these versatile sauces with meats, vegetables, or desserts.

*Class Bonus: All class participants will receive an autographed copy of Martha Holmberg’s Modern Sauces: More than 150 Recipes for Every Cook, Every Day.

*Class sessions are taught by Sur La Table chefs; Martha Holmberg will not be in attendance.*
